So much slink and no bra

Rihanna may have turned up to the Met Gala looking resplendent in a canary yellow gown by Chinese designer Guo Pei (rumour has it it took seamstresses two and a half years to make), but there are still lessons to be learned from last night's Met Gala which don’t require spending a wad on a couture gown. From entrance to exit, here are six hacks from the hottest girls that hit up the all-night high-fashion rager…

The Entrance

When wearing an unapologetically red dress, learn from the glossy Gigi Hadid, who owned the va-va voom for the night in this Diane von Furstenberg gown with her perfect hair and beauty pageant pose. Dree Hemingway, dressed in Coach, walked the red carpet with the addition of a leather jacket, hanging nonchalantly at her side. Too cool.

The Close-Up

You can’t zoom in on Instagram, but that shouldn’t stop you from being beauty close-up ready. Give the statement lid a look-in, like Zoë Kravitz and Alexa Chung's dust of rose shadow to lift their Cleopatra flicks.

Boyfriends make excellent posing partners

A hot boyfriend is a plus. And, FKA twig’s possible fiancé Robert Pattinson is certainly that. In his trad suiting he made twigs' ultra-cool Christopher Kane dress seem extra smokin’. The singer’s lace dress was super salacious, and not just because of its peek-a-boo cut-outs… take a closer look and see the XXX embroidery!

The Friend Drag

Be tactical when wearing a sheer minidress. Like Gigi, save on the Uber and swap your stilettos for sneakers, as they will not only tone down a nearly X-rated dress but also add a low-key insouciance to your after-party get-up. And, as for accessories, it helps to have a model sister in tow.

Squad Shot

Mastering the bathroom selfie takes two things: a camera and a willing bunch of pals. Thumbs up to Kylie Jenner's photo-taking and Bella Hadid’s crouching.

The After-Party

Rihanna did not just throw the after-party, she ruled the after-party. And, henceforth all post-event LOLz will pale in comparison. What happened? She wore an X-rated fembot top and a whole packet of Boots hairslides, and hung with her star-studded guestlist (including A$AP, Miley and Grimes). So, when it comes to your next post party hang, channel RiRi, as spotted in this exclusive pic.

The Exit

It was a long night of outfit changes, schmoozing and paparazzi, but J-Law still slayed it. The Dior muse exited in the early hours in a skin-skimming metallic slip dress with matching silver accessories and a frosty pink lip.
